Great little Italian restaurant on East 185. Friendly staff, good food and price is right.

I came here about 2:00 pm. Door was locked. I called and man said it was a slow day so they decided to close and come I should come back at 4:00. (This is a family owned business.). I said I was already in the parking lot and in the meantime, the Orlando bread truck came there to deliver their bread and then driver drove away when no one answered the door. Man then opened the upstairs window and yelled at me to try to find the truck to come back. Seriously. You can't make this stuff up. read more

Pizza was decent. But I'm still dreaming about this oil mixture! Bring on the bread! Servers were kind and service was fast. read more

The service was beyond great...the food on the other hand was not so good. I had the veal marsala it was over cooked and bland...perhaps it was just a bad night...I will try Scottie again if not for the food but for the service. read more

Old school This is a great old-school Italian restaurant reminds me of my days in Hoboken. We were coming here when we had an office downtown. It was always great. Est. 1999. It's cash only. The old ways. Today I had the lasagna. It was great meat sauce nice portion. I think it was 14 bucks really really good. The salad that comes with and the house dressing as good as it gets. I think it has walnuts on it with cheese and olives. The free bread and dipping oil is also great. You can park right there in the lot on 185 Great Italian place thanks Scotty. 5 stars not a lot like this one around. read more

Great sauces for pasta and pizza. Always fresh. Cash only but moderate prices as that savings for owner is passed down to the customer. My two favorites, the calzones and the chicken parm. Also, in summer, the outdoor patio is great. You never feel rushed by the friendly, Professional staff. read more

We found Scotti's by accident. The exterior looked so inviting that we stopped for dinner and weren't disappointed. We ordered a calzone and lasagna with salads. Salads were all fresh (not bagged) greens with balsamic house dressing. All servings were incredibly generous and delicious. While we were there, the takeout traffic was crazy busy. Looked like a lot of pizza was being ordered. Next trip, we're trying the pizza!! read more

Terrible customer service, Placed order waited 45 minutes for it and they weren't busy at all everyone standing around then got my pizza and it looked like a toddler made it smh read more

There might be better neighborhood Italian restaurants in Cleveland, but I have to find it. Scotti's delivers on the big three criteria of dining out. Food is excellent, I had veal parmigiana, wife had veal Marsala. Prepared perfectly, came with a nice salad that had walnuts in it (nice touch) and bread before dinner with a nice dipping oil. Service was excellent. Our waitress has been there for many years and just seems to have a knack for showing up just when we wanted to order or needed something. Ambiance is neighborhood place. Clean, neat. Not fancy but pleasant and comfortable. A couple of reviews have complained about Scotti's being cash only. I like it. All the revenue stays in-house and not a cut going to a behemoth credit card company. I guess it can be a pain if you're unfamiliar. Scotti's remains the gold standard for neighborhood Italian dining. read more

My wife ordered the chicken and it was as close to leather as you could get. We would've said something, but we were being treated for our birthdays and didn't want to embarrass our guest. read more

always dirty in here. food is average as well. chicken used to be ok but last time was literally rough.

Heard great things but I had a terrible experience. First I was not greeted upon entering. I had to walk up to multiple people to ask about my order. The older woman was not welcoming and very distracted but the restaurant was extremely slow. I made a to go order so when I arrived home to eat, the food was gross. Not seasoned at all, had to add my own salt and pepper. The food also had a strange aftertaste. Later on that night I got sick and vomited all my food, ew. I'm 100% positive it was the food that made me sick because I was waiting all day to eat just so I could enjoy a good pasta. I did eat the salad and bread about 15 min before my pasta which was fresh, but that was the only thing good I have to say about this place. If the side salad you get for free is the best dish thats a problem. I ordered the chicken Alfredo and the chicken parm, both disgusting. read more

Met my coworker for lunch here in September. They have a nice large large patio where we ate, very social distanced I had a glass of Riesling, as I just retired . They offered bread with a spiced oil and vinegar which was good . My friend hade the chicken parmigiana with salad and pasta which looked good and was a generous portion. I had the the small Sicilian Calzone which large and flavorful read more

The pizza and wings were phenomenal and it has good vibes. Gave an old school feel... cash only.

Great pizza. Friendly! Very nice! Great menu. Something for everyone!!! Calzones are delicious! read more

Best salad in Cleveland no doubt I get the sausage calzone Italian an chicken sausage and I add pepperoni my creation, It's a Homerun My other favorite - you gotta request is penne pasta with prosciutto an chopped tomato topping. Delicious All great food, ladies are the best, and we have to say it. "We love Scotti" read more

A Euclid staple. The prices are very fair for the portion of food you receive. I am in love with their bread that is brought out to the table. Make sure you have cash beforehand as they are cash-only. read more

Stopped in for the 1st time ever. I've l8ved near this place and have driven past it hundreds of times and never noticed it was here. The ambiance is that of old Italian eatery. And we love the Nostalgia. We were seated quickly and time to survey the menu. They are Cash Only and that caught us off guard, but there are ATMs near by. I ordered the Chicken Parm w/Angel hair pasta. The pasta had a Mushroom Pesto sauce and this sauce was amazing.. I will visit here again and often!! Close to home and the food, service, and presentation waa excellent!! read more

Consistently good food and service and very fair prices. I've eaten here many times always pleased. This time I had a veggie calzone for like $8 and took half home. I HIGHLY recommend this place. Just remember CASH ONLY!!!!! read more

Place is filthy and has weird smell. Never going again. Food was below average . Pizza had way too thick of a layer of grease.

Best bread anywhere. Incomparable. Calzone best in cleveland. Spaghetti with various sauces all very good. Great patio in rear. Inside is truly a neighborhood bar atmosphere. I've been going there for years and it's always been great. Highly recommend it. read more

Best pizza in greater Cleveland. I have tried dozens of places within 15 miles of here. I have passed by this place for the last 4 years and big mistake on my part until I stopped here Monday! Regular crust pepperoni, mushroom and sausage the bomb. read more

Hands down my favorite Italian restaurant. We drive 1 1/2 hours just to eat here. Get the shrimp Alfredo, you won't be disappointed.

We recently received a $10 gift certificate to this restaurant. Although we have lived in Euclid for 44 years, we never noticed this restaurant. The service was perfect, the 2 pasta dishes, The Chicken Alfredo with whole wheat penne, and the penne pasta with Mushroom Pesto Sauce, were both delicious. The salads were large, and the bread was really special. The most incredible fact of all was how absolutely reasonable all the prices are. We will happily return! read more

I travel from the Westside of Cleveland to Scotti's, to meet my Eastside friend, although it's been 2 years since we've been there. I won't be going back. I had ordered eggplant parmesan, supposedly thin and crispy. It came to me cut really thick and very mushy! I had to send it back. So, then I ordered the veal parmesan, which was again not crispy, but, mushy and tasted rubbery! Terrible! I just ate the side of spaghetti, salad and bread. Sauce was nothing great. I don't know what happened because the food really went downhill since the last time I was there. I was really looking forward to it and then it ended up being very disappointing! But the waitress was really great and the patio where my friend and I sat, is very beautiful. read more

Looking for quick Italian In the neighborhood and this place had great write ups. Be forewarned before you proceed... Cash only Love a place with an adjacent Parking lot but surprised the inside held maybe 7 booths, 4 tables and bar seating. Cheap drafts $2.75 for bud light. It was a New Year's Eve night so choice of restaurants were limited. Had the mom and pop atmosphere with friendly servers to boot.lots of take out orders going on at the same time which may explain why service was a little slow. Started off with fresh focaccia bread with a an olive oil/balsamic dip which they already have made for you. Bread was warm and soft almost like muffin density and was the best focaccia I've ever had. Main entree was chicken Parmesan dinner for $12.75 comes with side salad and bread. The salad had true green leafs ( not cheap iceberg) walnuts,black olives, tomatoes and cucumber. House dressing was a balsamic vinegrette quite tasty. For the chicken Parmesan came with one piece of chicken which had a nice crispy crust and tender white meat just the way I like it. The sauce was a little sweet for my liking but nice and thick to complement each bite Not sure this place lives up to the star rating which led me here. But prices are decent read more

They serve on Friday -but perhaps only during Lent - what has to be the best clam chowder I have ever tasted - and I have had a lot of clam chowder. We began to go to this restaurant based on someone telling my husband he saw them featured on a local TV show. We have sampled the pizza (delicious) + the pasta (delicious) + the fish fry dinners during Lent (again - delicious). Have never had a complaint and the prices are more than reasonable for the amount of food they feed you. We always go home with something in a take home container. It ain't the fanciest place but sometimes that is where these hidden gems are. Take a look around Cleveland - you do not need to go to a chain restaurant you can find elsewhere - support the locals - with this place you will not go away disappointed - hungry - or broke! read more

Scotti's is a staple of the Euclid/Colinwood/VASJ community and the two words that describe it best to me are pizza and patio. Scotti's has some of the tastiest pizza and calzones around, and that is just a fact, Google it. Every Monday is half price pizza night, dine-in only, thank me lster. It also has a large outdoor patio in the back with beautiful flowers that just make the wine more delicious in the summer somehow. In addition to the patio and pizza, Scotti's has a solid wine list, a bunch of scrumptious apps, a diverse selection of salads and some of my favorite Italian classics that are also available thru carryout. My wife swears by their chicken parm, and the tri-color cheese ravioli is my number one ravioli ever. The spinach salad with warm pepperoni dressing and the zucchini fries would be my recommendations for top salad and appetizer respectively. The only knocks on Scotti's are the parking lot and being cash only. The parking lot is tight and can be difficult to navigate but I usually park across the street or near the bank and walk over with no problem. So just park at the bank after hitting the ATM and you have no worries! What else is there to say? The food is consistently awesome, the prices are fair, and the owner, Scott, and his staff run this place like a well oiled machine. Just make sure you bring cash and a healthy appetite and you will not be disappointed. read more

Scotty kicked me out of the restaurant because I am a vegetarian! I was in the middle of ordering a pizza from the waitress, but Scotty came up to the table and asked me if I wanted a Stromboli he had in his hands. He made the wrong order and didn't want to the waste food, so he was trying to convince me to eat it instead of my pizza! I told him I didn't like meat unless it was shaved very thin, which he assured me it was. I only tried it as a favor to Scotty since his my house for the past 10 years. I asked the waitress to send it back so I could order the pizza I wanted. Then Scotty approached the table to ask why I didn't want the stromboli. I explained the meat was cut too thick and was therefore unpalatable to me. I reminded him I had told him I could only eat shaved, like prosciutto. He got defensive and argued with me about it! Icouldn't get a word from in edgewise to try to calm him. Maybe I offended him as a chef? I had to get up and leave the restaurant when Scotty was unable to calm down and could no longer communicate effectively with me. as I was walking back to my house, Scotty came running out of the side door, marched right up to me and told me to never come back! It's a shame because we're neighbors, and his uninviting and unprofessional behavior could make it uncomfortable when we inevitably run into each other. I wonder what Scotty's perspective on this incident would be? read more

had a delicious dinner there a while ago and made it back for lunch today-which was superb. great service, outstanding food, the perfect midweek lunch. Even the owner came by to see how we were doing. told him the (warmed) bread was exceptional and he said they made it in house along many other item. strongly recommend Scotti's for lunc, dinner whatever you're in the mood for. read more

Excellent food and service. Delicious and flavorful food along with considerate and attentive service. The atmosphere was very homey and comfortable. The mushroom ravioli was amazing and full of garlic flavor thanks to the fantastic Alfredo. Will go again and again. read more

Great food, nice staff. All around great experience. Highly recommend. Cavatelli Pasta and meatballs was excellent.

Cash only! Excellent food (scallop pasta is amazing and pizza is full of flavor and cheesy). Calzone yum yum. Just go with cash!

The restaurant is pretty good on average. However, if you order the garlic parm wings they pour a thick garlic sauce over the top and on the plate. its not good. The wings are great but leave off that sauce. Also, it would be nice if they blew off the leaves on the outdoor patio to make it a bit more attractive. all the debris just attracts bugs who eat you alive. read more

Scotti's is a staple whenever I get back to the 216! It is a fantastic, family run establishment. I have been a customer since probably the beginning, with my parents. Every time the service and food has been top notch quality! The bread and oil to start is super fresh and the spices mixed in with the oil are very tasty. There's a smidge of balsamic added, which gives it a very nice flavor. For my meal, I had the rigatoni and my Dad had the chicken parm. I'm obsessed with their pasta, it's always cooked correctly (IMO). Dad loved his chicken parm and the breading was the perfect amount, without being too overbearing. You absolutely have to try the tri-color ravioli, as it is my other favorite! Scottis is doing it right and I'll choose to come back every time! read more

Food was BLAND and disappointing. Everything on the menu was obviously frozen. Overpriced and depressing. Service was sub-par. Won't be back. read more

amazing, authentic Italian fare in my neighborhood. my only issue is they need to have a wait staff. I know that they have the servers seating people - just get a hostess :) make your lives easier. a lot of times, I'll arrive and won't be told "hello" for a long while, and there are seats open and available. get a flipping hostess, and more waitresses and your issues will be solved. but, other than that, amazing amazing food. read more

Pizza was meh. Weird crust and overcooked. Better off at Congins or Citizen Pie. :/

This family restaurant is really cozy and the food is really good 10 out of 10 My girlfriend really like the wind

After reading the complimentary reviews we took a chance on this little place. So glad that we did! We really enjoyed the patio, our waitress was great, and the food was delish! We order the calzones because they were recommended by many of the reviews. They were perfect and the dishes that other customers were served looked enticing, too. So nice to find a privately owned and operated restaurant. It was great. read more
